With the national death toll from COVID-19 passing the grim 150,000 mark, an NPR/Ipsos poll finds broad support for a single, top-down approach to controlling coronavirus. Two-thirds say the U.S. has done a worse job than other nations so far.

A man with a mask depicting American flags jogs past the U.S. Capitol in April. More than three-quarters of respondents to the NPR/Ipsos poll support enacting state laws to require mask wearing in public at all times.A man with a mask depicting American flags jogs past the U.S. Capitol in April. More than three-quarters of respondents to the NPR/Ipsos poll support enacting state laws to require mask wearing in public at all times.

"We're doing absolutely worse" compared with other countries, said Laura Braslow, a Republican in Quakertown, Pa., who took part in the survey. "I don't think we have adequate testing because it can take up to two weeks to get results," McClellan told NPR. She also said it was time for all states to impose public health mandates requiring masks in public places.

A single, drastic top down approach is also what we need to have a prayer of surviving the climate catastrophe.

If you take away the 32,000 Cuomo killed in New York City by sending elderly COVID-19 patients into nursing homes, we would be very much in line with other countries.

Enter the Strongman

Typically fake polling,with the numbers skewed thanks to polling predominantly Democrats. Outrageous fake.

Luckily for npr, U GET 4 more years of President Trump!!!!

U better get your state governors on task now! Npr shows they are clueless how a federalized Govt works

You mean having a totalitarian or an authoritarian in charge?

... 'U.S. has done a worse job than other nations so far' ... Well, that's what you keep telling them, isn't it!

America is getting what it should have expected by electing a reality TV star as our President

BrianMannADK 150k deaths huh! How many died from the flu 😷? How people died from medical Malpractice in us ? I think you be surprised! People want a national plan! Doubtful! Liberals that want free shit want this !government can’t run anything properly

I'm sick of people posting or doing polls. How can he have a 50% approval and 30% for covid45?

Defund NPR

Where were these people in March of 2020? It's too late.

Do you just poll liberals?

If only we had a president who could digest the health science of covid-19, synthesize that information and formulate a coherent policy based upon, then disseminate such to state and local officials for implementation; But We Don't!

Does Nakedly Progressive Radio™ celebrate the annual grim passing of 250,000 due to medical error?

The election infection

Ah yes the old OperationLockstep! No thanks! We won’t be needing that! Plandemic Agenda21 ID2020 Quantumtattoo

Another quality poll report. 'The poll was conducted July 30-31 and surveyed 1,115 adults from the continental U.S., Alaska and Hawaii.' BrianMannADK one thousand people supposedly speaking for 300 million?!🙄misinformation MediaBias

A fabricated illness. The US's death toll is being artificially inflated. One day you will be held accountable for your role in this NPR. We will not forget

I saw no point in quoting this article because wearing a mask during a pandemic is common effing sense. Or don't, and take your chances with the adverse consequences. And force anyone near you as well.

PrinceJvstin I wonder who are those 3-4% of Democrats who think we're doing a much better job than other countries. I'm not asking for a 'purity test' but I really wonder where they get their news.

That doesn't show any support for a top-down approach.

“Two-thirds of respondents said they believe the U.S. is handling the pandemic worse than other countries, and most want the federal government to take extensive action to slow the spread of the coronavirus, favoring a top-down approach to reopening schools and businesses.”

Kushner had an idea in place for national testing but it was scrapped because the virus was only affecting blue states and Trump thought that he could use the virus for political gain.

Republicans drinking koolaid

Sums up NPR perfectly.

Polls. Shut it down. Another sensational headline. Defund NPR. No mention of the experts saying we will have millions die. Fake news.

Why does 1/3 not think that we’ve done a worse job than other countries I just don’t understand how such a huge chunk of our population can support this administration still.

And let's be clear 155K is what's been reported after they cooked the books. The actual number is well over 200k

Ok

Sad but true

Trump's our guy!
